a catapult launches a test rocket upward from well giving it a speed of 50 m/s at ground level. the engines then fire so that the rocket accelerated at 5 m/s^2 until it reaches an altitude of 750 m at which point it gos into free fall. what is the maximum altitde of the rocket?

In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.
